Pink & Red Paper Chain Kit
This is a preorder item and is due for disptach in late September. Please note, orders containing preorder items will be shipped together.
A paper chain kit containing 160 patterned strips in rich shades of pink and red, enough to create approximately ten metres of handmade paper chains.
Each recycled paper strip is screen printed by hand on both sides in an assortment of complementary patterns. Simply join each loop using glue or staples to create your chains, then drape them across the tree, along a mantel, above the table or throughout the house.
Once assembled, the finished chains can be carefully stored rather than pulled apart, ready to become part of your Christmas decorations for years to come.
Why we chose this
Making paper chains is such a simple Christmas ritual, but traditionally the finished decorations are treated as temporary.
We love that these turn the same familiar activity into something worth keeping. Making them is part of the experience - around the table, perhaps with a drink and Christmas music on - but the finished chains then become part of the Christmas box rather than the recycling bin.
The pink and red palette also pairs beautifully with the matching paper crowns, giving you the option of carrying the same colours from the room onto the Christmas table.
